Finding Joy in Snarkville

or go hmmm — as the case may be.

Before I begin, in the way of a sidenote, I must explain that I think of myself as a fairly normal person. I don’t think I see something in different ways than the average person out there, so this is why I think the following things that I saw TODAY struck me so odd.

1. I was driving one of the back roads here in Snarkville and I saw a gang walking down the road. First, there should be NO gangs in this area of town — it is in the middle of farm land. Secondly, they were walking down this two lane road, I think they may have been kicking rocks in the dirt. Thirdly, I was thinking they looked tasty. I thought maybe I could hit one or two of them with the car and strap them to the roof rack for dinner. Then it dawned on me that I’d have to pluck them. Oh, did I mention this was a gang of turkeys? Yes, like TEN of them. Living on the side of the road. I wanted to call them “Wild Turkeys” and eat them up. Oh, and I’m kicking my self for not having my camera with me.
2. I was at my local Target making the rounds. First, I must ask why is a 24 pack of Crayons is $0.20, but a 48 pack of colors is $2.38??? I don’t get it. But really, just as I was smiling that no one had been an idiot with cart ediquette and I hadn’t had to “educate” (read: shake my head in disgust). Then I rounded a corner and saw a full cart, without it’s human, sitting diagonal in the aisle. Hello. Have we not gone through the rules of cart driving? Do not leave your cart unattended and in my way. Don’t make me have to issue permits to drive, k?
3. How is it possible that no one could be around as far as the eye could see, if I stop to look at something 9 people must stop to look at it too?  And what makes it worse is that those followers, those who can’t find their own thing to look at (like say in the deodorant aisle) ALWAYS elbow me?

I just don’t get it.  Yes, I’m PMSing, why do you ask?
